From the Prince Rupert Archives November/December

We've been doing a little Internet sleuthing over the last few days, looking for sites about Prince Rupert's past history and some of the people that built the city through the years.

Must admit that it's been pretty thin pickings thus far, but we have come across a pretty impressive collection of pictures from the Prince Rupert Archives, so we figured we would highlight a few over the next little while. (You can view their entire on line offering from this link)

There's no particular schedule or direction we're heading with this, just another sliver of Prince Rupert, this one from a look in the past.

We'll archive the selections for November here, and keep a running list of them on the right hand side of the blog.

If you have any suggestions for other sources of local info that you know about on the net, drop us a line at our email address below, always looking for ideas for the blog.
